Dumpster Rental Information
The Dumpster
The term dumpster refers to the large, often steel, trashcan-like bins that can be used in many different circumstances or scenarios. There are multiple kinds, such as the roll-off dumpster and the commercial dumpster.
The word “dumpster” was first used in 1936 by the company Dempster-Dumpster. This was the first commercial use of the term. While it started off associated with the Dempster-Dumpster company, the term now is a more generalized trademark.
The purpose of a dumpster is to dispose of and to remove waste from either commercial or residential construction or demolition sites. Other types are emptied on a weekly basis and are more permanent, such as for a particular restaurants or stores and their waste. All business buildings, apartments, schools, restaurants, hotels, etc. all have these commercial dumpsters for their convenience.
The temporary version of this dumpster is called the roll-off. This type of dumpster is a rentable one that you can have delivered and picked up once it is full of your trash. While you may think that a roll-off dumpster may not be needed in a vast amount of circumstances, think again.

* Trash removal projects

There are many different names that people call these rentable dumpsters by— some being, roll-offs, containers, bins, and open top containers. These rentable dumpsters are carried by large trucks that deliver them to the requested location, and will pick them up on a scheduled date. They are extremely convenient for construction and clean-up sites.
However…
While it may sound like anything can be disposed of in these roll-offs, there are items that cannot be accepted into them for safety reasons. Below are two lists, one of materials that can safely be stored in roll-offs, and the other list shows items that are prohibited by most hauler companies. But remember, if you want to make sure, you can call your hauler to see if they have the same restrictions.
